Ligation is a common method of contraception, which can achieve permanent infertility by blocking the fallopian tube or spermatic cord. However, some people may regret or hope to get pregnant for other reasons after ligation. At this time, assisted reproductive technology has become a choice. Test tube baby is one of the commonly used assisted reproductive technologies at present, but there is still some controversy about whether it is applicable to the people after ligation.
1. Whether IVF can be performed after ligation
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a method to cultivate the fertilized eggs to a certain stage in the laboratory, and then implant them into the mother's uterus to achieve pregnancy. Since the IVF technology bypasses the functions of the fallopian tube, uterus and other reproductive organs, the ligation operation will not affect it, and the people after ligation can still choose the IVF technology.
Specifically, after female ligation, the ovary can still produce eggs, which can be collected through assisted reproductive technology for in vitro fertilization. After male ligation, the testis can still produce sperm, which can be collected for in vitro fertilization. Therefore, ligation will not affect the use of IVF technology.
2. Success rate of IVF after ligation
The success rate of IVF technology is affected by many factors, including female age, number and quality of eggs, male sperm quality, uterine status, etc. The success rate of IVF after ligation is slightly lower than that of the people without ligation, but there is still a high success rate.
A study shows that the success rate of IVF for women who have been ligated is about 30% to 40%, while the success rate of those who have not been ligated can reach more than 50%. This is mainly because ligation will cause damage to the function of the fallopian tube, affecting the encounter of eggs and sperm in the uterus and the fertilization process. However, with the continuous development of IVF technology, the success rate is also gradually improving.
Therefore, the selection of IVF technology after ligation requires professional evaluation and suggestions from doctors, comprehensive consideration of various factors, and a reasonable decision.
3. Precautions for IVF after ligation
After ligation, some precautions should be taken to ensure the success rate and safety.
First, choose a regular hospital and professional doctors for treatment to ensure the reliability of technology and medical safety.
Secondly, conduct a comprehensive physical examination to assess ovarian function, sperm quality, uterine status, etc., and strictly follow the doctor's treatment plan.
In addition, some complications may occur after ligation, such as fallopian tube recanalization, ectopic pregnancy, etc., which need to be treated in a timely manner.
4. Summary
After ligation, people can choose to use IVF technology to achieve pregnancy through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Although the success rate is relatively low, it still has certain feasibility. Before choosing IVF, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive physical examination and follow the guidance of professional doctors to ensure the success and safety of treatment.
